Why Choose the Lovato ME024RD024 Electronic Reversing Starter?
The Lovato ME024RD024 is a compact electronic reversing motor starter designed for forward and reverse control of three-phase motors in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Lovato ME electronic motor starter series, it combines electronic motor switching, reversing functionality and integrated thermal motor protection in a space-saving DIN rail device.
This starter has a rated operational current of 2.4 A for AC-3 and AC-53a duties and provides integrated Class 10A thermal protection with an adjustable trip range of 0.18–2.4 A. The reversing function enables controlled changes in motor direction without requiring a conventional pair of reversing contactors, helping simplify panel design and wiring.
With an operational voltage range of 40–500 V AC, a rated frequency of 50/60 Hz and a 24 V DC auxiliary supply, the ME024RD024 is suitable for a wide range of three-phase motor applications. It is rated for approximately 0.75 kW at 400 V AC and provides a compact electronic solution for machinery requiring frequent forward and reverse operation.

Compact Forward and Reverse Motor Control
Reversing motor starters control both the starting and direction of a three-phase motor by changing the phase sequence supplied to the motor. The Lovato ME024RD024 performs this function electronically while also providing adjustable thermal motor protection, reducing the number of separate switching and protection components required in the control panel.
The ME series is designed for modern machine control applications where compact dimensions, frequent switching and straightforward automation integration are important. With a broad 40–500 V AC operational range, 24 V DC auxiliary supply and integrated diagnostic outputs, the ME024RD024 provides an efficient solution for bidirectional motor applications.
Typical Applications
- Forward and reverse conveyor systems.
- Material handling and positioning equipment.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Doors, gates and motorised mechanisms.
- Automated manufacturing equipment.
- OEM machinery requiring bidirectional motor control.
